FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WFOR) – A man is dead, and another was detained after his wife said he was shot and killed in a dispute over loud music in Florida on Thanksgiving.

Rose McLean is in agony after her 72-year-old husband Hurelyon McLean was gunned down just outside their apartment.

She said it happened after a minor dispute with a neighbor.

“He was playing his music today and the guy said he was playing it too loud so my husband went down there to him,” Rose McLean said.

Rose McLean said moments later, she heard the fatal shot.

“I was inside changing my clothes and I hear a gunshot, boom, so I ran outside because I know my husband went outside,” she said. “That’s when I go outside and saw him on the floor.”

She said the man with the gun threatened her too.

“He was being very violent because I was saying, ‘Why did you shoot my husband?’” Rose McLean said. “He said to me shut your mouth hell shoot me too.”

At an evening prayer vigil, the family’s pastor tried to comfort them.

It is a difficult task on the day to give thanks and celebrate family.

“Today is extraordinarily crazy. It’s crazy how mankind has gotten to the place where we don’t honor life like we should honor,” Pastor Tracy McCloud said.
